Malaria and Aids work hand in hand!

Just a few weeks ago we celebrated RED day to help find a cure for aids. Now we learn that the aids virus is helped in its spread by malaria, a disease of the tropics. You can read the medical report. Here is an excerpt: "Once malaria gets into the blood of a person with HIV, it increases the level of the HIV virus by up to ten times during a malaria fever episode. This significantly increases the risk of them infecting a sexual partner with HIV. And once a person has HIV, they are more susceptible to malaria, and so it continues. This could explain why HIV is spreading more quickly than through sexual transmission alone in that region".
This sounds to me like eradicating and/or preventing malara is a good place to start on the road to treating and preventing the spread of aids (especially in the tropics), other than through protected sex. Investing now in malaria preventive measures and medicines should prove to be the wise and prudent course for the future.

Yeah, absolutely. However, the left is obsessed with condoms. They want people to be able to have guilt-free sex, no matter what planet or continent they're on. Psychological medications are like conscience-condoms to them.

The left never does anything right. That's why we have to take this issue from them. They, and others, think they're the only compassionate people in the world who care about "Africa" and so on.

Take it. Fix it as much as it can be fixed.
